Tired of Achy Joints?

What:
Are you or a loved one experiencing achy joint pain and want to know when it may be time to see a specialist? Join Jovan Laskovski, M.D., Crystal Clinic Orthopaedic Center joint specialist, for a free community health talk on joint pain and when it may be time to see a specialist. Dr. Laskovski, a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine, shoulder and hip arthroplasty, and arthroscopic surgery of the hip, shoulder and knee, can answer your questions and share information on joint health, signs and symptoms of joints wearing out, and when you should see a specialist.

Dr. Laskovski is a graduate of the University of Akron and Northeast Ohio Universities College of Medicine (now Northeast Ohio Medical University). He was chief resident physician at Summa Health System and completed his fellowship at the University of Chicago. Dr. Laskovski has earned numerous honors and awards, conducted research and has been published in a number of areas of orthopaedic care. He sees patients in Green.

Why: Quality of life is the bottom line in deciding if and when to see a joint specialist. If you cannot do the things you enjoy – such as taking long walks, dancing or participating in sports – then it may be time to see a specialist. Becoming familiar with proper joint health, as well as causes and symptoms of joint pain and joints wearing out, can help you determine if and when to seek appropriate treatment and ongoing care in order to live a pain-free lifestyle.
